What A Deal...

First of all, seriously - that Geico lizard - he and I need to have a talk… Cute and all, but Geico - I don't like them...

I went to lunch with a buddy from work last week and she had mentioned that she not only banks with my absolute favorite bank ever, USAA.com, but also has her mortgage, insurance (home & car) and swears by them on everything. Being that their customer service is top notch, I was intrigued..

Fast Forward to today: I'm going through all my upcoming bills (sigh) and I see my insurance payment through Progressive is due this paycheck. Yippee *insert sarcastic Toyota jump here*. Mind you - I've never had an issue with Progressive - they are nice, easy to work with and I'll forgive them for finding out about that 2004 ticket I got for speeding on I-4 (Hell - how was I supposed to know it wasn't 65 mph anymore but 55 and this gal was going over 70 - they should have a blonde exemption), but 155 a month hurts a gal, ya know.

So, just for ha has, I go to USAA.com today and get a *free rate quote* and what do I find out - I'm paying too much for car insurance. I'm paying Progressive about $900 for a 6 month policy and USAA quoted me the minimum coverage (what I have now at Progressive) at $467, the standard (full) is $618 and SUPERIOR (full plus lots of bells and whistles) at $713. HELLO - what the ***** - that's ridiculous - I'm paying double that with Progressive..

So guess what - this gal is switching to USAA and not looking back… and with the money I save, shoes are most definitely on the agenda.
